Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below I received your e-mail about rejecting what drive time had saidSeeing where they said they would credit my account of dollars is an insult to myselfI finally got a hold of the company and I feel as if they are lying to meThey are claiming that the credit bureau stopped them from reportingI have had to contact a lawyer to send in the payment history and a letter to the credit bureau to fix my credit reportI feel like since I am the one having to take action to fix the problem and am still going to have to wait at least more days for it to reflect on my credit report that drive time should do more Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I do not agree with it because they cotacted me about something elseI understand that I signed all the papers because at the time everything seemed fine with the car, but now I fear every time I drive it sonething will happen and it will cayse an accident, my air back sensor is on so I do not feel safe in this car, I have to children and the air bags are not covered under warrentyI am able to make a appointment to see whats going on but two of the problems are happening spontaneously so how will an inspector be able to see that? There are recalls on the car I have (12) but before looking at it they said there is one on my car and its the ignition switchWith full coverage insurance and seatbelts I still do not feel safe in this car, it stalls out of no where so hard that I feel like I been rear ended and mad a scene in rush hour traffic thinking I was hit the first time it happened and now that its happening more im thinking I wasnt even hitIt happens while im stopped at a light, it feels like uhh get hit from behind and the car jerks all the time and the sensor for the rpms goes up and down really fastDrive time is doing nothing to helpvthis situation and just give me the run aroundTHIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below Concerning the response from Drive TimeMy question is when did this required system enhancements and the cease and purge of credit reporting begin, before I purchased the car on January 16, 2009, a year ago, months ago and how long could this process takeAccording to all three major credit bureau agencies they have no record of my even purchasing the auto much less a record of any and all of my on time or early paymentsAm I the only one that they are not able to comply with the promises made by their salesman and his aggressive credit building sales pitch or does this involve every one of their customers? When someone from Drive Time actually took one of my calls her explanation was that there had been a glitch in their system, and said nothing about this required enhancementAll other calls from me was put on hold and then dropped.This glitch of theirs is costing me a great deal of money as I have to pay extremely high interest rates on a new purchase not to mention the humiliation I went through with three dealers when I was turned down because these payments were not reported as promisedOnce again, I was told that if I made my payments per month on time that this would help me reestablish a decent credit rating, and I thought it did because of their constant calls inviting me down to their showroom to upgrade because of my excellent credit ratingNever once was I informed that the only place I was establishing a good rating was with them and in my opinion trapping me and possible many other into only being able to purchase a car from them and no one else.According to their reply they understand the importance of accurate reporting but they made no mention as to when this reporting and repair of my hard deserved improved credit rating will take place.I faithfully and diligently held up my end of the bargain, they didn't and I'm paying for there "glitch" as it was put to me Regards, [redacted]

As stated in our previous response, DriveTime made the exception to approve the aforementioned repairs, on December 7, 2016, at no cost to our customerBased off Aeverex’s notations, our customer advised he would return to the repair facility on December 8, but the repair facility did not call Aeverex for payment until December 9, We highly recommend all of our customers to schedule appointments with repair facilities to ensure any repairs or diagnostic testing is completed on an agreed upon timeAdditionally, any repair facility should be able to give customers estimated time of completion for diagnostics or repairs Should our customers experience ongoing mechanical issues, we encourage them to express their concerns to the repair facilities to have them diagnose the vehicle appropriately If for any reason our customers are not comfortable with the repair facility provided, we will always do our best to find another In-Network Repair Facility (INRF) that can assist with their mechanical concernsAfter reviewing the pictures of rust attached to our customer’s correspondence, we can conclude that these are the same pictures for the claim filed in December of These pictures were reviewed by an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified technician who determined it is surface rust and is not affecting the drivability or the compromising the structural integrity of the vehicle DriveTime acknowledges our customer contacted us on numerous occasions throughout the month of DecemberDuring those conversations, our customer did not advise us of any CarFax report he obtained or submitted, the experience he had with the vehicle going off the highway, issues with the inner tie rod or the vehicle shutting offThe report our customer attached is a copy of the Experian AutoCheck Vehicle History Report (Report) we provided to him, as a courtesy, at the time of saleThe Report may provide information on any accident(continued on attached)

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.On April 13th, 2015, I did sign a contract, however, a verbal agreement was also made (which was a part of the contract recording that took place) where I had inquired about paying on the 2nd and 17th of each month due to my pay schedule Had they have declined to let that happen, I would not have purchased the vehicle That recording took place for a reason."Our customer set up his automatic draft payments to be pulled from his account on the 2nd and 17th of each month, beginning on May 2, 2015." You're Right! I did! And was given such a run around and hassle over this for the last month! The first time it happened, I didn't have to call anybody several times or email several people It was handled after the first initial email "On July 19, 2015, our customer logged onto MyDriveTime.com and resubmitted his automatic draft payments to be pulled out of a different bank account numberWhen our customer re-enrolled with a different bank account number, he also set up the automatic draft payments to be pulled on the 1st and 16th of each month." FALSE! Please prove where I had the OPTION to pick those dates I don't think I would have set that up on my own to have to grow through all of this! If I chose the dates myself, if would have been for the 2nd and 17th as stated in the recording that took place when I purchased the vehicle, and as my payment history proves Why would I chose the 1st and the 16th if I knew I couldn't make the payments on those dates? I certainly don't enjoy paying those overdraft fees on purpose When I re-enrolled under my savings account, those dates reverted back to the 1st and 16th on their own If there is proof that I CHOSE those dates on my own doing, I'd love to see it"On July 29, 2015, our customer contacted us to set up his automatic draft payments to be pulled on the 2nd and 17th of each monthWe informed our customer the customer service department was experiencing high call volume and encouraged our customer to call back the next day to receive assistance in a timelier mannerAt this time, our customer has not attempted to contact DriveTime." I was never informed to call back the next day Why would you tell somebody to call back tomorrow if it was something they needed to get fixed right away? I was told to call back in another hour I only get breaks at work per day as well as a lunch period I called during my lunch period and waited for nearly minutes, then was told by the rep that answered that he could not help me, the call volume was high, and to call back in an hour I CALLED BACK! Only to get put through to another representative that claimed they could not help me By the time I get off of work, your customer service center is already closed It's ashame your systems can't log how many times I actually did call back and how long I was on hold each time So as far as saying I never ATTEMPTED to contact you, that's a load of crap You all never attempted to contact me either until I filed a complaint with the Revdex.com I spent numerous days and a lot of time trying to contact somebody to have one tiny issue fixed with the dates that was originally set up for me to pay my bill"On August 13, 2015, we spoke to our customer and informed him he has an upcoming payment due on August 16, We offered to cancel his automatic draft payments, so we may reenroll with his new account and his preferred datesOur customer informed us he would contact us back after his next payment drafts to set up the correct dates." This is correct! You all were very quick to inform me that I have an upcoming payment due I spoke with a representative that stated it would take a few days (confusing as to why that takes that long), for the dates to change on my account So we agreed that I would let the payment on the 16th go through, and that I would call back on the 17th to change the dates to the way they were (SIMPLE!!) I did call back today, and the change was made "At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request to credit his account one month’s paymentsAs a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $to our customer’s principal balance." I appreciate the good faith gesture, however, that still doesn't erase the fact that I've been trying to get this settled for well over a month now Numerous breaks and lunch hours were wasted trying to get this settled I'm still quite upset about all of this, and it should have never gotten this far My email address is attached to my DriveTime account If I sent a couple emails asking for a simple change, it's obviously coming from me I could understand if I was asking you to change my banking account numbers or something, but a date??? You have access to my payment history I'm just not understanding why it took all of this work just to correct one thing When I first bought this car, DriveTime was customer service oriented, and it seems like the longer I've had my car, the more I realize this is not the case anymore I've never been late, I've never complained about anything else, all I wanted was my pay dates to be fixed so there would be no overdraft fees for anybody It's better to make sure the money is available than to not have money to cover it And out of the 3-people I spoke with on this matter, one person should have been able to help me sooner I do not want to face this again in the future, as this has been a nightmare for me I will not purchase another vehicle from DriveTime I will purchase my next vehicle from the company that stands by their word when it comes to customer satisfaction and customer service This experience alone has been one of the main reasons I refuse to refer anybody to them Regards, [redacted] ***
